The ganized and In successful operaton. consolidations referred to In the last report had been made to [ considerable extent , and most of the te1cber were permanently lo- cated. In company with my preleces30r In office I had spent nearly two weeks In the month of September In vIsiting the schools , and I saw nearly every room. I was Impreased wih the good order that every- where prevailed , and with the tine spirit of the teachers , and especially with their kindly and confidential attitude toward the PUlllh , that friendly spirit of co-operaton teachers and pupils which 1 betseen the a 111 pupis have noted on several public , occasions , and which Is the augury ol good In any system of schools. " It Is the nrst. duty ol a superintendent to make himaelf familiar with the schools over hlmelf placel ( , and to this I de- votel myself by visits to the schools as . frequently as prctcable , hy frequent conference ferences with the principals and teachers , both Inelvilualy and In meetings hy grades and In general meetings , and by interviews with parents and citizens , ss well as with members of the board and with your various smmbconimittces.

TiE hiGh SCHOOL. " [ n the early days of my Illmlnlstraton directed to thts school aB my attention was thl being deficient In disciplne and efficiency , and , according to . these Intmatons , my In- specton was carefully directed to the discovery - co\'ery ol any such delects By numerous visits and by Interviews with students and teachers , both In classes aiR d Individually and Inter- and by Incidental acquaintance : vlew with the Patrons ol the school I 10un that the discipline Is thorough and comple'e , though not of the march-In- platoon , drum-and-fife ordcr I Is almost Ideal In Its completeness . for with no apparent restraint , the pupils there conduct them- selves like young ladie.i and gentlemen , j caet ! by hlmselr and subject to no martinet rules : all on the rare occasions that have cOle to my notice when I boy 1n the 11- [ Ietuosly ol youth has forgotten himsel and overstepped the bounl- of propriety , he has been promptly brought Into line , and , what Is even mOle satisfactory , 110 has corrected himself In : manly way. Ant the scholarship of the school Is what may be expected lrom the state of the disciplne , The graduates are almltOI without coml- tons and even with honor at I.ht best col- leges In the countr ) ' , Al this Is due to the scholarly and quietly efficient principal , who has few eqnl and no superior In the country , so far as my acquaintance ex- temb and to' 0 superLor eOfl of' teJehers It Is a surprise that there shoul have been any criticism of this school such as 1 heard. S "I recommend the introduction of some system ol physical exorcise fcr the girls , to corre pond with the military drill for the I.oys . Systematic exercise. such : s the I'reeco system of lamnastc8 : , If properly conducted , Is beneficial beyond the drill In school : I creates an Inerest In the subject of 11hFlc.11 vigor , and Is likely to be kept up out of schoel. "This school has numbered more than 1.000 pnpls the pat year , with more than two cozen teacher and four courses of study , besides the department of manual tralnln in [ accordance with a plan contemplated - templatell for some time and with the co- cperaton ol the principal , It has now been organized Into six departments on the rec- ommendaton ol the committee ol this ' school. In [ my judgment ths ! organization wi mIt gret ) ' to the efciency ol the school and reduce to scnio extent the cost ol its maintenance. TI GRAMMAR SCHOOLS.

The supervisor anti her assistant - , Bltont In the trlnlul depatment have done their work allmlrab ! . But they have Ia- bored under the disadvantage of not having L their position recognized by a superior salary : : - they were directors also , and they were regarded - gaded as director onl' .

As to its legal status , that must be leU to ) 'our. wisdom and to the courts. , , In the present state of the c.ue , the srll"ol wIll probably be reopened net t.rm. "Dut WIth both the cadets of this tcuol . and the volunteers of the kindergartens ! there Is one difficulty : They each assume , or are lable 10 assume , that on the completion of their course the city Is under on obligation to furnish them employment Of course the expectation of so employing many of them Is the grOunl1 on which the Instruction Is furnIshed : and , In fact , a large proportion of them will be engaged. But the obligation Is al on their pat all not on the city's part. They have received free of charge a training which I worth money to them : and this liberal provision or the city places not the city but them under obligation. COUnSE OF STUDY. "The edition of the course of study last adopted hits been exhausted , and a new one was In contemplation on my Introduction to your schools. By your acton late In the year 181 ! a revision was ordered under the direction t the committee on text books and course ol study" . In [ the usual course of such a work this was conductell largely by the superintelient anti a commitee of the principals , whose work and consultations with ether principal and teachers should have large recognition. "The course In grades . one to eight Inclusive has been tnoroughiy re\'lsed. In the first grade , A class , the thought or sentence method of teaching has been thoroughly rec gnlzed. This method may not secure the master of the technique , the mechanics of reading , so rapid as some others. but , In my Judgment , I lays a better foundation for intelligent reading and use of language later , and thIs consideration far outweighs any tEFpomry advantage of a greater rapidity - ity at the start such as will leave a mechanical . chanlcal tencelcy later , an inclination In the pupil to regard tile form lore than time spirit ol lauguagc. "In this course the study ol language Is sought through Its substance time thought I expresses , more than through its mere form , all along through the graces to the seventh , where technical grammar Is first lutrolluced and continued through the ehhth. This result - suit Is sought through the introduction of a joel deal ol nature stlly , In order both to interest the pupils lu these natural objects and phenomen and to awaken the thought that Is 10 find expression In Inguage. 1"or the bamo purpose I good deal ol EUP' plmentary reimling . stories , histories , etc. , Is Introduced Into the lower grades. The arithmetic Is turned more largely Into mental work , and the mere mechanical ngurhtg and ole ol the titles arc considerably abridged In order to save tme , The history Is some- What .Iodlned and the geography Is more or loss changed. The ' moral instruction , which has an excellent outline , and the course In muslo and drawing are substantially the same So Is tIme Ilgh school course , with the exception of the Spanish language , whIch was introduced by your vote. . ' RANKING AND PROMOTIONS. " [ n the promotion of PUPilS from grade to grade It appears to me that too much stress has In the llst been laid upon the mere marks In examinations , and too little upon the work ol the PUIII from day to day and the opinion ol the teehe who Is with him every day , and ol the principal , who should bo personally acquainted with the capacity and the progress of each pupi , "The tuna and energy ol teachers Is too frequently wasted In poring over figures , marks and per cents , and 1 making incomprehensible - comprehensible and often erroneous records , never to be read by anybody , amid of no use II they were read. This energy ol the teachers shoull be expended In teaching , intense , active and interesting teaching They should be required to work for the progress ol the schools every necessary hour ; to re- duce to the minImum the markings and the per cents : anti when the work ol the day Is done , to devote themselves to recupel'- sting their energies for the next das duty. , The best marks for a teacher to make ar the ImperIshable Impress upon the miilA' and characters ol the children : but unfortunately - tunately for the teachers who live In this materialistic , spectacular age these best re- suits cannot ba displayed at the county fair ; they appear later In the record ol noble lives. tl appears to me also that too much weight Is given to the written examinations ol candidates b ) the examining commitee of this board. The oral examination furnishes - nishes an additional and equally good err- tenon by which to judge a candidate. This ought to be moro thorough than I hs been , and It ought to have larger weight In the selectoj of teachers from among candidates. PRINCIPALS , AND TEACIIERS . "Tho superintendence of the Omaha schools must be don largely through the principals , as these schools are at present organlzcd. The departments ol music and anl drawing are efficiently directed by the spe- cal teacher or supervisors In those branches : time kindergartens arc successfully ) managed by the supervisor , and the Illh school Is under the capable control ol the principal. In all these there Is no need ol any further supervision thl the superhm- tenllont can conveniently gh'e. I has been suggested that the principals might bo tiis- pend with und competent supervisors be appointed In their place at a salary oC about $ ? ,000 each per annum similar to the prac- tce In Washington and In Indianapolis , and thus a saving In expense might be secured b ) paying each nominal principal l In addition to the salary ol her grade $50 a year or some such sum for time mere clerical duty IOW Inchlent to that olilce. tny such a pln that close supervision which has proved so benefcial In time Pst would bo lost : Its value has been briefly set forth ' bove. No supervisor of 100 teach- era can know the individual pupils , nor can I" render to teachers In diciplne and In carrying out the course ol study that assistance - rlstanco which a good prlnclp l gives with mulch excellent results. Moreover the tra- cmlons anti the practices of any place have much to do with the success ol Its sehools. These customs cannot be rudely and suddenly - denly changed without Interfering wth : the progress ol the schools and interrupting , the education ol the cliii- then , Furthermore [ : On this t que tlon ! at too request or 8 memler or your board , I . consulted Mr. Jones , rtenty the erlnont ) &ucceuful IHperlntenlent ol the Inlanapol s schools and now ol Cleveland In tht city anl : ciy the plan suggested has its most successful application. IQ told me that after ten years ol trial I Is working well , hut he thought that the tme and attention devoted to this experiment woull hare made the other plan such ai ours equal ) ' succeslul. and he ad- v'ed with emphasis that a city like ours adhere to the 11resel1 Illan of supervision by principal , wih an assistant supervisor or supervisors whenever the system becomes too large for one superintendent to handle. "Hilt the direction ol a system ol schools requires on time hart ol teachers due subor- clnaton and co.operation with the principal : It rE'qulrec ol the teachers and principal co-opemmtiotm with the supervisors of depart- ' m\nts and with the superintendent : It requires - quires from all these subol'dlnaton to the Board ol Education and the I'ulfs It has laid down.
